Russia has stirred controversy by leaking audio of German army officers discussing supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles, including potential targets like the Kerch Bridge. Germany is investigating the incident, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz calling it "very serious." The leaked conversation, posted by Russia's RT chief, sparked outrage in Russia, with officials accusing Germany of planning attacks. The missiles in question, Taurus, have a range of 500km, and while Kyiv seeks their supply, Scholz fears escalation. Experts warn of potential further leaks, suggesting Russia's strategic intentions to influence Germany's decision-making.
